earlier that year, harry reid and nancy pelosi gave george bush a stimulus. what happened was two things, al. first of all, barack obama got reelected. and for a variety of reasons, the republicans never game barack obama the kind of cooperation we gave george bush. of course you should disagree. but then in the end, you try to work things out. when george bush came to harry reid, we worked with him to go and to come to an agreement. mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, said my number one agenda item is to defeat barack obama. and then in 2010, people were elected who don't believe in govern nans. who don't understand reality. it's not like we've had it forever. we didn't have it before the partisanship and there was some people so offended by the notion that barack obama could win for a variety of reasons, that they decided to delegitize it. i think you're going to see a gradual relinquishment of this kind of obstructionist death grip they have on the party. >> plet me ask you, you're leaving washington after serving so long and so well. what will you mis

when mitch mcconnell said my number one agenda item is to defeat this president, harry reid didn't si that when george bush came to him with the stimulus. i do not find this playing on both the houses appropriate. >> he did call him a liar and -- pretty bitter times in there as well. >> but he also worked with him to get a stimulus, worked with him to pass the tarp when he asked us to, worked with them -- the whole period of 2007 and 2008 there was a great deal of cooperation on areas that i'm familiar with. >> do you remember good old days? >> i do remember good old days. just to put it in context, let's say, when i arrived in 1989 from connecticut, where we have politics. i was surprised at how partisan congress was. i saw it in some foreign policy questions where i didn't expect to find it, and i would say over the years congress has become more partisan. the last two years probably the most partisan and the least productive. throughout all that, a lot of great moments. first president bush, 41, they convened a group, worked for weeks, passed amendments to clean air act, not only c

republicans have passed 17 bills on economy that were not taken up by harry reid. so if you put out the policies that should be debated, and i believe they should all be debated, brought out of committee, then we should see our system work. that releases the gridlock because we as americans deserve to see that debate from our elected representatives. >> quick yes or no. do you expect that to happen? >> i expect a level of it because obama now doesn't have to deal with the re-election issue. it can get away from his base as bill clinton did. and he can maybe move forward to work in if you will maybe in a more centrist fashion. the opportunist there. will he take it is the question. >> that question will be answered for the next four years. hopefully you all come back to help us understand it. david webb, jelena maxwell, michael ed dyson thanks so much. we'll be back with "our world with black enterprise." >>> commercial consideration provided by -- >>> that wraps it up for this edition of "our world with black enterpri enterprise." you can find us on our web site or

harry reid told him a bain investor said romney didn't pay taxes for ten years. our panel weighs in on that and much more. stay tuned. you're watching "the ed show" on msnbc. >>> when democrats and republicans agree on something, it should be pretty easy to get it done. but right now, that's not the case. instead of doing what's right for middle class families and small business owners, republicans in congress are holding these tax cuts hostage until we extend tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. >> that was president obama explaining what is at stake for the middle class. republicans claim they are concerned about the middle class. this week, they have a golden opportunity to provide stability and eliminate uncertainty for them. house republicans could approve senate legislation passed last week extending the middle class tax cuts and president obama would be sure to sign it. instead, they are insisting on maintaining tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. under the democratic plan, 98% of americans would continue to benefit from the current tax cuts. as for t
